  2. Tidal prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_Prism

    A tidal prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, [1] or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. [2] The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin. [3]

  3. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    Frustum. In geometry, a frustum ( Latin for 'morsel'); [ a] ( pl.: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or a cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting the solid. In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal. A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone ...

  4. Characteristic length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_length

    In computational mechanics, a characteristic length is defined to force localization of a stress softening constitutive equation. The length is associated with an integration point. For 2D analysis, it is calculated by taking the square root of the area. For 3D analysis, it is calculated by taking the cubic root of the volume associated to the ...

  5. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    a polyhedron with six faces ( hexahedron ), each of which is a parallelogram, and. a prism of which the base is a parallelogram. The rectangular cuboid (six rectangular faces), cube (six square faces), and the rhombohedron (six rhombus faces) are all specific cases of parallelepiped. "Parallelepiped" is now usually pronounced ...

  6. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  7. Rhombicuboctahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicuboctahedron

    The skeleton of a rhombicuboctahedron can be described as a graph. It is polyhedral graph, meaning that it is planar and 3-vertex-connected. In other words, the edges of a graph are not crossed while being drawn, and removing any two of its vertices leaves a connected subgraph. It has 24 vertices and 48 edges.

  8. Sellmeier equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_equation

    In its original and the most general form, the Sellmeier equation is given as. where n is the refractive index, λ is the wavelength, and Bi and Ci are experimentally determined Sellmeier coefficients. These coefficients are usually quoted for λ in micrometres. Note that this λ is the vacuum wavelength, not that in the material itself, which ...
